Sustainable Landscapes Conference 2018

This forum will bring together each of the key themes and stakeholders from our previous events on deforestation, smallholder farmer resilience and sustainable agriculture. The Sustainable Landscapes Conference will tackle the biggest issues faced by business in managing risk, improving relationships and driving resilience in agricultural supply chains.
